Not sure if this has been asked before, but I’d love to know everyone’s thoughts on PMA certification vs. Pragmatic certification? I have a few weeks before starting a new role and want to level up some of my skills.

Hey all, I’ve been a solutions architect associate for a year now as my first tech job out of college. I was able to get my AWS SAA Certification and followed that with Azure AZ-900.

Hoping to get my PHR in the next year or so. Outside of employer reimbursement, are there other opportunities for this to get funded? I know SHRM Foundation offers scholarships for the CP, but I am looking for PHR specific help. Thank you! :)

Hey all, looking for some advice.

Graduated UG from Target School in Spring 2020, started in S&A at Deloitte Fall 2020. My plan is to eventually get an MBA from an M7 to pivot to PE/VC.

Have seen posts about MBBs’ hiring spree. Would a lateral to an MBB this early in my career be possible?

FWIW, applied to all 3 in UG. Interviewed at BCG for internship in Fall 2018 and Bain for full time in Fall 2019. No offers. Only things that has changed since UG is taking GMAT (770).

Thoughts?

Best study materials/plan for AWS cloud practitioner?

Hi guys,

Im trying to break into tech.
Have 6 Years of entrepreneur time with my small startup as a Founder.

PMP certificate. Wonder how could I get a job in this chaos market, since I have the knowledge, leadership experience as a Founder and Business Management (B.S degree).

Also, the H1B would come into play, since I do not own one.
P.s: Have Japanese Passport if it helps somehow for the paperwork.

Anyone willing to refer me to a Product/Brand role in CPG, particularly in Gurgaon?
I have a Product/Brand Management background + Sales&Ops background and an MBA. Looking to shift back to Gurgaon for urgent family reasons.

Incoming MBA, I have my tuition paid for and rent covered (I will be an RA). So the only thing I need to pay for is food and entertainment. Do you think 20k is enough to last me through the 2 years? I will make a little money interning in the summer, so that would be a safety valve if I blow through the 20k.

Or… should I take a small loan?

Hi Folks,
Having 3YoE in procurement research and now in a research team at an MBB, I feel I've reached plateau learning-wise. Have been focused in Chemical domain throughout.

I now intend to explore roles on client(Chemical Companies) side (like SCM, Planning, Strategy) but unsure how do I go about it.

What should be an ideal career roadmap for someone like me. How should I prepare/do in order to pivot towards those roles?

PS. I'm a BE Chemical Engineering, and no MBA.

TIA!

Someone WILLING TO REFER a Strategic Consultant, focusing on Financial Services, with almost 2 years’ work experience? I’m 24 years old and the youngest student in my MBA’s history.

I would like to work in a crypto company or in the investment field, ideally Venture Capital/ Private Equity. I am currently based in Italy but my brother is moving to Singapore for his wife and I would like to live close to him and build a future there.

I want to take leave for 1 year to backpack around the world. Will this reflect poorly in MBA apps when I return if I only have 3-4 years of work experience?

Is it worth it to get a SF cert without any experience?

Posting about MBA matriculation/acceptance on LinkedIn - yay or nay?

Congrats to all the future CPA’s that passed the Canadian CFE

COVID led me to leave a T2 consulting firm with only six months on paper to show. Really been having trouble figuring out what I can pitch myself for. (Pre-MBA background is hospitality, eek!) Ideas?

Anyone have PMP or similar credentials/trainings ? Do you feel like it helps in your accounting job or is this just something extra that nobody really cares about or finds useful?

Anyone work at Thermofisher that can tell me about the WLB?

First year litigation associate. I was up at five am working and still working at midnight. My billable hours are insane and I dropped the ball on a project assigned Friday today, I simply did not have enough time to do it. At what point can I tell the head of my practice group I’m swamped? He sees my hours and they were similar for June and July so it’s not like he doesn’t know. I feel like I can’t say anything? We also have two very young kids. I’m drowning.

Warm greetings Fishes,

Looking for a role of Business Analyst in Singapore
YOE=2.

Thanks in advanced

Hi all, not sure where the best bowl to post this is. I run a subscription based e-commerce startup with woocommerce. I’m looking for a good CRM system to go with it, and want to hear if anyone has experience in this realm (or can recommend a bowl). Thanks!

I was watching this TikTok guy who asks "what do you do for work" to people with ridiculously expensive car and houses and almost 40 % of them worked in the real state industry.
